As a compromised between “leveling up is based on XP” and “leveling up is based on milestones”: leveling up is based on XP… but you get that XP from completing quests or achieving other milestones. A sidequest gives you a moderate amount of XP, a main quest gives you a lot of XP, and if a quest is particularly important - maybe it’s tied to one of the PC’s backstory or something - the party gets double the XP they would otherwise.

(This is inspired by a campaign I was in a while ago that ended up turning into a long chain of sidequests that didn’t contribute towards us leveling up at all. I was thinking about how to modify the milestone leveling system so that sidequests aren’t just distractions but do also contribute towards leveling up.)

Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.

[gothfoxgirlboy]

This also works with pinning their hands against the wall when they're trying to use somnatic components.

[gothfoxgirlboy]

Basically if you make out sloppy style while pressed against a wall the spellcasters can't do anything

After a couple of hours of Baldur's Gate 3, here's some aspects of the game I really like that i feel could improve your dnd game

Limit short and long rests

Hand out a lot of magic items

Make every combat a combination of some weak enemies and one or two strong enemies

Use battle maps that are just overall larger. Ranged and mobile characters will have more fun and it allows for more tactical play

Use more elevation on your battlemaps

Use the changed jump rules. Jumping now requires a bonus action but doesn't use up movement equal to the distance jumped, just a flat 3 metres/10 foot

Bonus action to drink potions

Was gonna leave this in tags but then I had more thoughts so listed them out but now I have even more thoughts so I guess I'm writing a big ass blog post sometime soon.

On rests, there needs to be a healthy balance, because getting fucked over due to every encounter being a life or death one while being limited on times for rests (not to mention use of things like exhaustion) can feel very annoying. But if your first thought after every fight is "long rest!" that's clearly too much. I'm still searching for this correct balance, I think BG3 does it ok but it still feels too close to the latter.

Best thing I've done for my one D&D game is `give out a ton of cash and make an easily accessible magic item store

Big battle maps are fun but good lord do they take a lot of setup, even on Roll20. I think it's more important that there be a large amount of possible strategies available for the PCs to engage an encounter, which can include just more space.

Elevation is something I need to use more often but on Roll20/TotM, it can be awkward

I have seen like, 3 uses of jump in my 8 years of DMing D&D, let's hope that gets more use

Most DMs do not understand action economy (and in fairness, neither does WotC), a single monster with equal CR to the party is never going to be a major threat because the party can just do more things to it. More monsters=more threat because PCs need to contend with more things

Bonus action to drink potion is both more fun and promotes a better game design

Again, gonna write more, but I think BG3 is going to be a massive inflection point in D&D, where its impact on all of TTRPGs is going to be discussed for decades.

[tenosit]

It already happened and it is called D&D 4th Edition!

I do jest, somewhat, but BG3 is not THAT innovative. A lot of it is just just considered sound design.

[probablygoodrpgideas]

Yeah ultimately if you want to play a game with better combat than 5e you should just play a different game that puts game balance over simulationism, these are just some minor fixes

Citybuilding

Here's how I build large cities:

First the people of the city need a place to live. Then I need to figure out if they are segregated (e.g. by class).

Then whether there's a seperate market district or if stuff is sold in the housing districts.

Then, if it borders a body of water (which it probably does, why else would it be a big city) there should be a harbor and maybe a fishing district.

For settings with advanced modes of transportation like airships or trains there needs to be a central station

Lastly, it probably has some kind of industry which could be a mining district, an industrial zone, a district of craftsmen, the aforementioned fishing district or something else. Depending on city size i'd go for 1-3 of these industrial districts.

Then I add some unique districts to make the city stand out a bit more. Depending on city size I add between 1-4 of those, and here are some examples: Theatre/opera district, religious district, tourism district, sports district, barracks, campus, government district

Decided to take a break from portfolio work to do some fanart for the game that currently has me in a death grip, Inscryption!

Hopefully will do more art of this game in the future after my applications are said and done.

[beefosaur]

sorry for posting inscryption. it will happen again.
